I’m pulling for Jordin to win this now.

Blake seems like a nice kid but he’s all gimmick and not much of a “singer.” Jordin has a great set of pipes! She can really sing.

I’m guessing that the Melinda vote will swing in Jordin’s favor too. Let’s hope it’s enough to put her over the top.

So far, here’s what I thought of the seasons:
1) Kelly wins - she was great and has a great career.
2) Ruben sandwich beats out Clay. Ruben’s pretty much done nothing. Clay should have won. American screws up.
3) Fantasia wins over Diana. Diana was very young (Like Jordin) but a great singer. Both Latoya London AND Jennifer Hudson were much better singers than Fantasia too. We screwed up again.
4) Carrie Underwood. Best Idol so far IMHO. Great voice and seems like she’s still down to earth. (Although she needs to eat a sandwich once in a while)
5) Taylor Hicks. Well...he was the best “entertainer” of last season but Chris Daughtry was the better singer. Chris’s CD did very well. McPhee? Well, she was “hot.”
6) OK.....Melinda was the best singer, Jordin is younger and almost as good. Blake has the “gimmick.”
If Jordin wins, OK....I can accept that. Blake wins? End of the line for me watching.

Gotta take step back on this one. Chris is NOT the better singer. Chris' music is more commercially marketable, he still screams all his songs. Sorry, that's not siging.

Taylor seemed comfortable singing songs from almost any genre of music (much like Melinda). Yes, we need all types of performers, those for small venues, and those to pack stadiums (Chris)

Blake seems like a nice kid but he’s all gimmick and not much of a “singer.” Jordin has a great set of pipes! She can really sing.

Blake has no power to his voice at all, and yes, Jordin has a great singing voice. She has demonstrated good control in her song delivery as she builds to end of the song. As time goes on, she'll learn even greater control of her voice as Melinda has.
